Sorry folks, too much decorating, crap weather and running kids to regattas has kept me from the boat park. I'll have a look at the weekend. Edited by NickA |

I'm pretty sure that's sold now Ian - One of Phil's flotilla which he sold to fund something else (49er I think!) and then he promptly bought 313 and another one! LDC have a couple of new one's both available - the thought of selling mine and buying a new one has crossed my mind more than once, but the concept of my fiancee discovering such an act only months before our wedding has put me off the idea! Perhaps later in the year! ;)

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

Hi everyone, I don't know if the boat is still for sale but there is still one advertised on the Apollo Duck site, it was posted in May: http://sailingdinghies.apolloduck.co.uk/listings.phtml?cid=1 13&sort=0&next=10 Ian (Yorkshire Dales S.C.) |

This is an interesting situation. I had a conversation with a guy in Turkey last week who like me was on a sailing holiday. He had also been trying to find a 300 at the end of last year and couldn't find one. His budget didn't reach to a new boat. He wasn't aware of the 300 specific website so I gave him the address so he could look on there. Edited by Pesmo |

Yeah I second that me and Greg have a wait difference of 20kg and finished 5/6th at the inlands and both on the same points. Just shows how the boat can be sailed by such a varied weight range. |

I'll put a link to the Association wanted page. RE weight as the Fizzicist said:
There are some good stats regarding weight etc on the RS300.com surveys section, I think you'd be surprised as to the versatility of the boat. Theres a great spread of both weights and ages. My dad and I both sail 300s and although hes a good 25 kgs heavier than me we are always swapping places. At the nationals we finished 1 place and 1 point apart. However what is perhaps even more astonishing is that a guy sailing an A-Rig and half his weight (yes half!) finished straight behind him, by 1 point. Speaks alot for the boat, especially given how breezy it was......

Whats the maximum weight you could be competetive in one of these mean machines.I currently sail a contender and am a bit heavy for that at 6ft5in and 17stone.would love a finn but a bit on the expensive side to be competetive and a phantom doesnt really appeal.Dont get me wrong I love the contender but its a bit frustrating when sailing in less than 8-10 knots as I end up getting caught by the slow fleet!!!!it great when its breezy but its a bit all or nothing.

There's a for sale section on the main RS web site, so to put it on the 300 site would duplicate the effort. Maybe a link would be more appropriate?
